Joint Ease Super Dog & Cat MEAL TOPPER - Maximum Strength Hip & Joint Probiotic Support* (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)

JOINT EASE MEAL TOPPER contains a wealth of super foods and nutritional phytonutrient supports to help support hips, joints, connective tissues and bone, including concentrated natural antioxidants, naturally occurring collagen, curcuminoids, glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids (Omega 3 and 6) including ETA (Eicosatetraenoic acids), EPA  (Eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and GLA (Gamma-liolenic acid); amino acids, glycosaminoglycans (GAG's), glycoproteins, probiotics, digestive enzymes, essential oils, protein, polysaccharides, RNA and DNA nucleic acids, vitamins A, C, E and K, minerals calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous and zinc; fiber and electrolytes.

JOINT EASE MEAL TOPPER has also been documented with helping to rebuild up to 30% of cartilage and bone loss in the animal body due to its adaptogenic plant and marine compounds which may help encourage the growth of collagen, cells (chondrocytes) that help repair and regenerate cartilage and connective tissue, fibers, proteoglycans (protein which keep connective tissues elastic and flexible), glycosaminoglycans (help repair and regenerate connective tissues) and synovial fluid, all of which are instrumental in promoting cartilage and bone growth as well as vital plant actions in cases of severe joint decline.

JOINT EASE MEAL TOPPER natural phytochemical content may be instrumental in helping to build all types of collagen, including:

Type I: The most common form of collagen, found in the GI tract; may help build bones, help heal wounds and may help maintain skin elasticity.

Type II: Related to helping build cartilage found in connective tissues, especially important in cases of age related joint pain and joint decline caused by arthritis.

Type III: Related to the tiny fibers that comprise organs, skin, blood vessels and heart tissues; may help provide tensile elasticity to skin and tissues. A deficiency of Type II collages has been attributed with cardiovascular conditions.

Type V: Comprises the many tiny fibers of collagen itself, found in hair follicles, cell surfaces and placenta tissues.

Type X: Collagen involved in direct formation of bones and articular cartilage and may be important in helping repair synovial joints and damage to bones, including breaks and strains.

JOINT EASE MEAL TOPPER also contains ingredients with potential plant actions of PCK (protein kinase C) and PCA (protein kinase A) inhibition, which is directly related to helping control pain and inflammation in the body. What's interesting about the adpatogen plant actions found in JOINT EASE is that in cases of osteoarthritis, it may help stimulate immune response as needed, whereas in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, it does not stimulate immune response which would cause further decline, making it a potential positive support in cases of episodic and chronic joint pain and inflammation.  

Nutritional support is used holistically to help address symptoms and pain related to joint issues such as hip dysplasia and arthritis (inflammatory joint disease); arthrosis (non-inflammatory joint disease); may help address symptoms related to Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) and Intevertebral Disk Disease (IDD); and targeted natural plant chemicals may help repair damaged cartilage matrix and connective tissues due to age, wear, tear and stiff, aching joints, by stimulating collagen production. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)

Used holistically for its potential to help support all types of joint problems and degenerative tissues; may support the cartilage matrix; may promote smooth, unrestricted joint movement and flexibility in the skeletal system; for healthy, strong muscles, joints and bones; may renew synovial fluid and promote cellular repair, all necessary processes when joint problems are present.

Along with its tonic and adaptogen reparative mechanisms, Joint Ease contains plant and marine extracts with primary functions of probiotic, digestive (immune health is directly linked to gut health), anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, joint protecting, anti-mutagenic and immune boosting actions. These extracts are recognized by the World Health Organization as some of the most important ingredients in the natural treatment to help address all forms of joint problems. And we're just getting started! :)  (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)

JOINT EASE MEAL TOPPER contains Cat's Claw Extract, a plant that has been studied holistically for its potential adjunctive anti-tumoral support; as an adjunctive in chemo-therapy regimens to potentially help reduce side effects; may help address cellular response related to proper reproductive, kidney, liver and central nervous system function; may address inflammatory symptoms related to Lyme disease; may help as a Probiotic bowel protector, cleanser and anti-inflammatory for bladder disorders, including Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD); Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); and Probiotic digestive aids may help reduce symptoms of diarrhea; diverticulitis & Ulcerative colitis.(* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)

JOINT EASE TOPPER contains a natural anti-inflammatory which may help reduce seasonal and chronic allergies; may also help treat skin rashes and it works to limit histamine and mast cell response which trigger contact allergies; may cool mast cell activation in the animal body; may provide skin support and for inflammation and swelling due to hot spots; may address hair loss, itching, geriatria and skin and coat disorders; may help accelerate DNA repair and to promote elasticity and resilience of the skin. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)

Finally, secondary therapeutic plant and marine actions include holistic which may help address symptoms related Candida; Benign Hyperplasia Prostate (BPH) and prostatits; Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS); as an adjunctive for Degenerative Myelopathy and macular degeneration; Chronic Respiratory Disease; detoxifying plant actions may help cleanse and detoxify the animal body after glucocorticoid, corticosteroid, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) & antibiotic therapies; may help symptomatically address hyperthyroidism; Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV); for Feline Immunodeficiency Infections (FII) & its anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory plant actions may be useful for abscess. *  (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)
